A picture would be really helpful. If you could get a clear close up of her as well as a pic of the overall tank, that'd be awesome. Also, what are your water parameters? How many other fish do you have and what kind? Any possibility something in the tank is sharp or rough enough to hurt her?

So I'm trying to get a picture of her it's really tricky. Here's one of the whole tank I have done test all tests perfect except for ammonia I am treating for a high amount of ammonia, But are on the last couple days of treating. Tests are reading low now almost to no ammonia. My tank buds are (4 gouramis, a pleco, two rope fish and 3 feeder guppies) she he never ate. I got her about a little over a week the day after entering her she had a whitish scuff and that's what it appears to be we took out a artificial plant that was the sharp. It's a 30 gallon but am updating to larger 75 very soon.

Here's a pic of her scuff she has a few around 5 like this on one we would wake up and there were more now it's around 5 and after removing the plant no new marks have shown up. I'm just unsure of the cause she shows no signs that anything is bothering her and is acting normal

Nope now once in a while push each other over a spot in the tank but not a lot and its only two of them that do it. I have another rope fish and they don't bother iether of them. I have been monitor heavily since they have all been put together for that reason to see if there are any issues so I can learn there behavior and for what is going on at the moment.

like naughty kids, they sometimes do things when you’re not watching, but if they don’t display any other signs of illness, they may have just scraped themselves on something

I think it was an artificial plant in the tank that I removed yesterday and had no new signs of anything on her today like there have been. I'm really hoping that's all it is and I have eliminated the problem cause I do love my fish.
